About Navratri & Mata Ki Chowki Setups
Whether you are planning a Mata ki Chowki for 70 guests or an intimate Navratri puja, I handle the transition from living room to sacred space completely. I manage the construction of the 10ft deity stage, the installation of floral veils, and the layout of velvet-clad floor seating, so you can focus entirely on your prayers.
Navratri is all about that specific 'Goddess energy', and for me, it is about translating that devotion into visual beauty. I do not just put up drapes; I design full-scale Darbars. My Mata ki Chowki setups are self-contained, meaning I bring the throne, the 10ft stage, the floral-framed backdrops, and even the clean, comfortable gaddas (mattresses) for your guests.
If you are tight on space in your Mumbai apartment, do not worry. I have adapted these setups for compact flats and large bungalows alike, always ensuring the aisle, the stage, and the ceiling canopy feel intentional. During the festival season, I lean on classics like thick marigold garlands, brass bells, and auspicious Om or Swastik motifs, but I am always happy to tweak the colors to match your home temple. I have spent decades managing the chaos of Mumbai festivities, so I know how to make a space look serene even when things get crowded. Whether it is a Jagran, an Akhand Path, or a simple Navratri setup, my goal is to handle the decor logistics so your family can focus on the shradha (devotion) without any last-minute stress.
